Default RE: RT Aerospace T-34C Build

I don't plan to do a complete step by step build on this, but since I have never used a wing jig, and, I am sure a lot others have not, I will show this portion step by step. I am using an original Adjusto-jig. My kit was designed to be built on this jig so all the holes were already drilled.
First pics show the mods I had to do to the retract mount doublers for the CJM retracts. I'm not a fan of CJM, but I've got them, so in they go.
Next pic shows the the jig set-up with correct spacing for the ribs.
Now all the ribs are installed on the rod ans placed on the jig. You need to make sure all are on the correct side of the red rod mounts. The rods are held down with rubber bands.
Next, straight pieces of stock are clamped to the trailing edge of the ribs, to create a perfectly straight T/E, and the leading edge is glued on. I will be doing most all of the wing build with Aliphatic Resin glue, (no odor and easier to chew the residue off the fingers).
The spars are added, and glued in place.
